The University of New Orleans is undergoing leadership changes as it transitions into the LSU system.
President Kathy Johnson is set to leave her role on June 30 to take a new position at Saint Louis University.
Jeanette Weiland will serve as interim chancellor beginning July 1 to guide the university through this transition.
Weiland, a UNO alumna, previously worked as the chief business officer at Tulane University’s School of Science and Engineering and held leadership roles with the New Orleans Business Alliance and Ochsner Health.
“It is an honor to serve the university during this pivotal time,” Weiland said. “UNO has a long history of serving students and the New Orleans community, and as an alumna, I look forward to working with faculty, staff, students, alumni, and partners as we continue building on that foundation.”
The university will launch a nationwide search for a permanent chancellor following its return to the LSU system.
